Tired of shooting in your own backyard or down by the river? Want something with a little challenge and friendly competition? Then try benchrest shooting at 25 meters and 50 yards. Don't have the equipment? - not to worry you probably do. All it takes is a gun capable of throwing lead, (weight limits and energy limits apply), a scope or if you want a real challenge iron sights (yeah right) some sand bags (because I don't have the bucks for 500 plus front machine) the ability to read the wind (wind flags on music style stand are ok), a portable chair, and you are set.
If I can arrange for child sitting (family in Galt and The City) I will be there for both days.

============================================
The following was taken from another forum, mods, if this is bad form please let me know hiow to edit it...
Mark your calendars, coming March 17th and 18th the Western States Air Gun Benchrest Regional Match to the Sacramento Valley Shooting Center in Ione CA (
http://www.sacvalley.org/contact.html
). We have reserved the 100 yard benchrest range which has been the site of several national centerfire benchrest championship matches. It is a terrific facility, known for its challenging, shifty winds.
Saturday March 17th we will shoot a World Benchrest Match for Light Varmint and Heavy Varmint classes and a USA Open Class match. Here is a link to the World Airgun Bench rule book describing the requirements for the classes
http://www.wrabf.com/rules/WRABF%20Rimfire%20RULEBOOK%202009-2011.pdf
and a link to the USA Air Rifle Benchrest page explaining the Open Class rules
http://www.usairriflebenchrest.com/2594.html
).
The plan for Sunday March 18th will be a Sporter/Hunter match for the popular sporting style airguns The Match will be shot at 25 meters using the World Benchrest 25m target. If you have an air rifle with a wooden or synthetic stock with no adjustable components in .22 caliber of less, 35fpe or less, and some soft bags for rests you are in. Rifles that qualify are Marauders, Rapids, HW100, FX Royale, Cyclone, BSA's AirArms S400/410/510s, Daystate Airwolfs, Mark 3's & 4's, Huntsmans etc. We will also be having an Unlimited 50 Yard match. The only requirement for the unlimited match is the rifle must be .22 caliber of less and we will be shooting a special target for the match. If enough springer shooters participate we will have separate awards for Springer and PCP shooters
Many more details to follow

FYI ... AIR RIFLE Bench rest matches in Sacramento are still being done @ 3-4 times per year.
These BR Matches are ALSO put on by the man behind the FT monthly matches ....
Go the FT gate and look up IONE FT info.
